So he wants to use his laptop's internet connection on his mobile. Again, still possible.

Is it possible this might work with the dongle via usb OTG? Or am i being completely thick?!

Nope, it would need drivers which don't exist. OTG is really only for external media or HID

My school was far behind. In 1996 when I left, they just got the internet and was for "teachers only". We had commerce (which was typing) and that was about it. In 2000, I still didn't really understand what a C: drive was (Although I could use DOS oddly).

This require to be root my device???

No I don't think rooting is required for that.
Just Google it
You can find lots of tutorials for it.
Actually I have done it.
But I forgot it was a long time ago.

[Q] Reverse Tethering on P500

Can the LG Optimus One P500 be reverse tethered i.e. when the mobile is connected to a PC with the cable then the phone can access the internet via the PC.
My HTC Incredible S used to do this and I did search a bit before posting this but I couldn't find a way to make my LG Optimus One P500 do it. Any suggestions?

Thanks for that reply. I do have a wifi router already
Reverse tethering will allow me to use internet available on any machine even while I'm in transit. Think laptop+data card
Hence the query
Used to use this some time back when I was on Windows.
Also, cool sig

That works if your laptop has WiFi. Sometimes I have an old laptop with me which doesn't have WiFi or I'm visiting a friend who doesn't have WiFi. Reverse tethering hack would really help out.
Couldn't find a link for reverse tethering. Any suggestions?

Maybe this? --> http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
Not sure. Haven't tried. Anyway, what error/thingy do you get?
It just need a computer with a internet connection..
and Connectify doesn't work for me or some other people..
Cause android doesn't support ad-hoc ...

Yes, it definitely requires an Internet connection. That's how you get the weather, web searches or anything else that you're looking for.

ya,,how can that be possible w/o internet...
I'd like to know if it requires the internet to interpret what you are saying;
Eg. "open the camera" would that require data?

[Q] Ad-Hoc on ICS

I have an Ubuntu Laptop and I'm not able to share my LAN connection to my Android phone. The WiFi hotspot feature in Ubuntu creates an Ad-Hoc connection which cannot be detected by ICS. Anyone have a modded wpa_supplicant to enable Ad-Hoc in ICS? I'm on stock XWLP7 if that helps.
Help would really be appreciated.

Xperia Sola Anyway to connect through USB port not WiFi??

Xperia Sola Anyway to connect through USB port not WiFi??​
Of course there is, just use the cable provided with it
But jokes aside I was wondering the same thing sometime ago, mainly because I didn't have wifi installed, and from what I read it's quite complicated (or so I remember) and it's vastly easier just to buy a wifi access point then trying to set it up.

Reverse Tether Options?

On my phone before last (GS3) I was able to share my computer internet connection via USB. It was called reverse tether but I believe I had to root to enable.
Has anyone had any luck achieving this functionality on the Z3v with or without root?

Do they require root? Never understood why this isn't a standard feature, it's just like using WiFi except wired.

standard features are decided according to their to their abundant usage. If maximum users need it, then it will be standard.

We are talking about REVERSE tether, which means that we want to use a computer internet connection to have internet on the phone.
It SHOULD be a standard feature as it is so easy to implement ! Some older version of android were allowing this easily and some phone maker were puting this as an option, now it's a hassle with LP !

Thanks for info. Bummer these all require root but I'll probably bite the bullet and root soon. My company doesn't allow WiFi and I'd like to save data while at work.

That is also my purpose as we don't have wifi at work. I tried on a Z3 stock rom LP 5.0.1 and it's not working... Could be because my internet connection has to go through an http proxy
Hi!
I was also looking for a way to reverse tether on my unrooted device. I could not find anything, so I developed my own solution, ReverseTethering NoRoot. Thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/u/best-apps/app-reversetethering-noroot-t3316716
